Brenda and I, Stephen and Nancy, and Steve and Nancy (no that’s not a typo – that’s Steve & Nancy squared:) are heading up to Sacramento on Saturday for the California Brewers Festival. We went last year and it was a great event. The ale of the day for me last year was Alaskan IPA. We got a pre-release taste of the IPA about a week before it was unleashed on the public. What will be my find of the year this trip? Word has it that over sixty breweries will be in attendance and last year the supporting beer-soaking-up food was decent. I’ll post pictures after the event.
